Pomegranate Tea Terrace

Pomegranate gives rooibos a tart red-fruit note and a slightly drying finish. The tea brings a mellow, woody base, making the juice feel less like a breakfast pour and more like part of a proper cup of tea. Stir them together after brewing. With only a few ingredients, concentration matters: add a small amount of juice first, then decide whether the tea can take a little more.

Ingredients

• 1 tea bag Rooibos tea
• 6 oz Hot water
• 2 oz Pomegranate juice

Make it

1. Steep the tea in hot water for the time on its packet, then remove the bag.
2. Let the tea cool. Press or mash any soft fruit and stir in the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour over ice. Strain if you prefer a smoother drink.

Benefits

Rooibos · caffeine-free with pomegranate

Rooibos gives pomegranate a brewed base without caffeine, so the flavor does not depend on a caffeinated tea or coffee.

Pomegranate and rooibos

The pomegranate contributes a tart, slightly drying finish to rooibos, giving you a specific flavor combination to reach for instead of a default pour.
